B.C. Enquirer: Man loves to build beautiful things

Don Goben paints, does ceramics and even acts in local plays — but his biggest talent may be his woodworking, reports the Battle Creek Enquirer. “You need to do a lot of things,” said Goben. “You’ll get bored if you don’t.”

Excerpt: Goben’s home serves as a gallery of his work that includes carefully crafted keepsake shelves, linen presses and detailed chests. Behind each piece is a story — inspiration from a tour at a former president’s historical home or furniture that caught Goben’s eye at a museum. Some were made using spare wood from his son’s farm, but most are built with walnut or cherry — Goben’s favorites.
